Hello again everyone...
This thread will be focused on voice actors, American Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, whatever (okay that was a stretch but bear with me). You can talk about your favorite ones, what voice they played that made you love them, etc.
As usual, I'll start:
Steven Jay Blum: It all started with the Bebop!
Richard Cox: I first heard him as Bit Cloud from Zoids, but I started becoming a fan after InuYasha.
Scott McNeil: Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing (diehard fan by time Koga from InuYasha came up).
Mona Marshall: Became a fan of hers when I first heard her as Ascot from Magic Knight Rayearth.
Okay, I'm going to have to stop myself here or I'd have a pathetically long list with no room for discussion. Now it's you guys' turn... who's your favorite voice actor or actress?

I like Richard Ian Cox! I remember hearing his voice on Zoids: New Century and then on InuYasha! But MetaKnight was the first one to notice that though. Also I like the person who played as Hamtaro, but I'm not sure what that person's name is.  |

Oh I don't know any names... *bricked* *catches the brick before it hits Renna J* Don't worry about it, if you don't know the name of the actor, then mention what character they voiced. I'm sure that someone can figure out that person's name. Oh and Mimiru, I'll find out who played Hamtaro for you... |

It's Derek Stephen Prince (you had it right).
He's a really cool V/A, who also did Mondo from Mon Colle Knights and Nuke Usagimaru from .hack//Mutation

David Moo (Sanji in One Piece)
Hahahaha j/k don't worry.
Anyway I'm a rather big fan of Crispin Freeman and Laura Bailey (best fit for Lust). I'm kinda anti Blum though cause I feel for a guy with so little range he's used way to much.

I'll stick to English voice actors here. Watching Japanese shows are a rarity with me to begin with, so it's not as if I can be very objective |3.
-Eric Stuart (Marco in Shaman King).
-Vic Mignogna (Edward in Fullmetal Alchemist). No matter how many damn complaints I hear about this guy and his 'unworthy' voice-acting, I continue to support him. Mostly because the voice he gives Ed is the voice I imagined him having in the first place, before the anime even started in Japan. I find his faith very refreshing!

Dave Wittenburg (Kakashi Hatake's (seriously, if you don't know this one, ...) eng. va): I love his voice as Kakashi, and in Samurai Champloo, he did a really good job of sounding angry at Mugen for slashing his characters arm off. Kazuya Nakai (jap. voice for Zoro (One Piece), Mugen (Samurai Champloo)): Gotta love how he brings out the emotion in his characters! Kazuki Yao (jap. voice for Mr. 2, 'nuff said...; also voices Jango, and Franky, all from One Piece): I can say, I knew first his voice from Fullmetal Alchemist though, as Yoki (from ep. 9). However, I know his voice best from One Piece, where I have heard each and every one for a lengthy amount of time. Paku Romi (jap. voice of Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Tao Ren (If you don't know what this is from, then why are you here?), Hitsugaya Toshiro (Bleach), Digimon Kaizer/Ken Ichijouji (Digimon Adventure 02)): Love her voice, love her characters. I actually downloaded ep. 135 of One Piece just to hear her voice, this was before I started watching through the series. |

Souichiro Hoshi. I absolutely adore him. He was a lot of people. Kazuki in GetBackers, Reki in .hack//udeden, the main character in Lost Universe (which I've never seen, but would just to hear him), and a buttload of others. I love me some Hoshi. XDDDD

Do you want me to list them all?
Forget it, I'll do just that. I only know of Japanese voice actors.
Seki Tomokazu - He sings, he can do a girl's voice as well as a guy's. He did Chichiri in Fushigi Yuugi, Touya in cardcaptor sakura.. I just love his voice.
Sakurai Takahiro - His voice is drop dead gorgeous. He did Cloud in FFVII:AC, Sasame in Pretear...
Suzumura Kenichi - He can do a teen as well as a matured adult. He did Kamui in X, Atsuro in Kaikan Phrase and Ayumu in Spiral. ¢¾
Miki Shinichirou - I like his hair. It looks like something that came out of an electric shock. His voice is good, he did Touya in Tsubasa, Shinichirou in Sukisho...
Yamaguchi Kappei - I absolutely ADORE his voice. There, enough said. He did Subaru in Tokyo Babylon, Ryuichi in Gravitation.
Saiga Mitsuki - Her voice is soooo beautiful. You MUST listen to it. She did Robert Haydn in Ueki no Housoku. :DDD She sounds so much like a guy~!

Kenjirou Tsuda-Japanese Seto Kaiba (he's got an amazing voice)
Yamaguchi Kappei-Professor Daitokuji from Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Ussop, Japanese Bugs Bunny etc
Rica Matsumoto-Japanese Yami Bakura from Battle City onwards, after the previous VA died.
All three of the above are also singers, if you didn't know. Kappei Yamaguchi has some very...interesting songs.
